Test lung cancer samples outside the body during surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at lung cancer tissue after surgery, using lab testing done outside the body. It may help researchers better observe and study lung tumors using samples taken during lobectomy or segment removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having lung cancer surgery (lobectomy or segment removal)
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You can understand the study and give consent to take part

This study tests a new way to guide lung biopsies using optical coherence tomography (OCT), a special imaging technique that helps doctors see tissue in real time during the procedure. The goal is to make biopsies more accurate and safer.
This study uses a special eye-like scanning camera (full-field optical coherence tomography) to look at tiny lung tissue samples taken during routine bronchoscopy. It may help doctors learn more from small biopsies used to diagnose or stage lung problems.
This study tests a new laser imaging device that works with artificial intelligence to quickly analyze lung tissue during surgery. The goal is to see if it can give as accurate results as the standard method, which could help surgeons make faster decisions during the operation.
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue from people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are planning surgery. It may help researchers learn more about the cancer by studying samples taken at the time of your operation.
This study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons find the right boundary between lung segments during surgery, using oxygen levels to guide them. It may help patients with small, early-stage lung tumors.
